[Verse 1]
[E5]Scar[Bm]s for the livi[D]ng, a ditc[Bm]h for the dead[D]
We [Bm]try to [D]remember to [Bm]drink to for[D]get
[Bm]Fools for our [D]choices, [Bm]tools for the [D]trade
[Bm]Busy our [D]hands as we [Bm]bury the [D]slain

[Fm]
[Bm]Morbid de[D]rision,

[Verse 2]
[Bm]sadistic re[D]lease
[Bm]Starving the [D]pigs in [Bm]the belly
of the [D]beast
[Bm]The sky looks so [D]hungry,
[Bm]the future looks [D]bleak
[Bm]The soil of the [D]Earth will
[Bm]inherit the [D]meek[Bm]

[Verse 3]
Mass [D]affliction of [F]the chosen
[Fm][F][D][Bm]
Now [D]the sacred vows
[Fm]are broken[F][D][Bm]
Will [D]they stand to be con[F]fronted?[D][Bm]
Now [D]the hunters are [F5]the hunted
[D][Bm][Fm][Bm]

[Verse 4]
[D]
[Bm]Red- hot knive[D]s, open sore[F]s
Surgeons busy do[D]ing sur
[Bm]geons chores
Numb with whiskey, [D]sealed with tar
[F]Devil's sti[D]tches leave no scar
[Bm]Ancient gods

[Verse 5]
look to [Dm]ancient suns
[F]Ancient medicines in [D]ancient slums
[Bm]Masks of horror hide[Dm] the shame[F]
[Fm]Roman doctrines [D]can only ease the pain
[Bm]Shattered sunrise,

[Verse 6]
[D]mercy calls
[F]Hallowed victims scr[G]eam
[D]in the [Dm]halls[Bm]
Filled with venom, [Dm]filled with [D]fear
[F]Open wounds filled [D]with life's [Bm]elixir

[Verse 7]
Mass afflic[D]tion of [F]the chosen
[D](mass affliction of [Bm]the chosen)
Now [D]the sacred vows [F]are broken
[D](now the sacred vows are[Bm] bro[G]ken)
Will [D]they stand [F]to [D]be [F]con[Bm]fronted?
(Will they stand [F]to [Em]be c[G]onfronted?)
Now [D]the hunters [Dm]are [F]the [Bm]hunted ([F]no[Bm]w the[F] hunters are the hunted)[E5][Bm]
